Writing Challange: Day Two

Markus

18Mar08

Jade

17Mar08

I posted the complete story of Jade on FP…
I’ve gotten some interesting reviews on Markus, a mixture. I’ll write up a post about them tomorrow.
One thing I dislike about FP is that you can’t see the authors response to the reviews.

Sometimes it takes a disaster to make you appreciate what you have. I want to thank all those people who sent emails and messages to me about yesterday’s post. I really appreciate it. I’m still bouncing the proverbial ball back on whether or not I want to go [...]
